The manager at my local McDonald's just got a new job at Burger King. They're probably going to close the McDonald's now right? Board up the windows? Call it a day? lol...

Yeah I saw a news clip somewhere the other day about a bloke leaving microsoft to go and work at ibm. I thought at the time, well thats the end of microsoft. They're definitely going out of business lol.

hehehe

from one broken promise studio to the next it seems.

My thoughts are this, if you raised 100+ million dollars, why not have a AAA company help you a tad? Then the game might actually launch before my 8 year old graduates high school.

This is not just one mere employee though, This guy has been with Hello Games for six years (take note that Hello Games have only existed for 8 years), he's been there since Hello Games first title, Joe Danger was released.
This would come pretty close to the equivalent of Todd Howard quitting Bethesda Games and leave for BioWare.

This doesn't have to mean anything other than him being disgrunted with the work and decided to work for another company that have a project that closely resembles No Man's Sky.
But it's interesting to note that the only news from Hello Games since release have been a "hack" and most likely the very same person behind the hack decided to leave Hello Games.

I would much rather hear about an upcoming content release or anything instead of the deafening silence we are being treated with at the moment. Someone should mention to Hello Games that they should probably update their website to act at least somewhat professional, Gareth Bourn is still listed as one of the No Man's Sky Team.

Well I guess with Hello Games closing down, he's a free agent now and needed another job.

I only want to say that ALL of you are looking to far in to it. HG is still HG and there is obviously transitions being made. Who is to say they aren't hiring more people as well?? c'mon guys.. lol. Just get over it. It's ridiculous lol. Sean murray and his team are obviously still working on some major content patch. Everyone deep down knows it. It only makes sense that they are going through some degree of change. CHANGE my friends is the only constant. So chill and just lay off and wait for a bit.

Haha this genuinely made me laugh out loud, I mean it's a little bit of a sad delusion but good one :)

it is worth to add that his leaving date matches with the tweat "NMS was a mistake". I bet he is the disgrunted employe.

Unless the guy was in charge of making sure the printers had paper and the coffee machine was clean, I am now nervous about Star Citizen =(

This is the job: https://cloudimperiumgames.com/jobs/402-Star-Citizen-Live-Designer

first line of the job description

"Creating multiplayer logic and play spaces in space and interior environments"
HAHAH !! ya, With a designer from NMS working on SC I will expect him to be fired within a weeks time. Chris Roberts won't even put up with the crappy quality that the Hello Games team put out.

Plus how does a Designer from NMS get a job Creating multiplayer logic and play spaces in space and interior environments" when NMS doesn't even have MP? Does the guy even know wtf he is doing in that area?

Star Citizen is nothing like NMS other than it's a space game.

Star Citizen will be a letdown no matter who they hire.

Both games are highly ambitious, delayed and Star Citizen will most likely join No Man's Sky as a failed release game. Their fall might not be as hard but I highly doubt it will manage to live up to the massive expectations people have on it. Star Citizen have the potential to be No Man's Sky 2.0.
